Garmin has taken live sonar to the next level with ultra-high-definition imaging that provides sharper returns, cleaner images, and superior target separation. Fish holding tight to cover, suspended schools, baitfish, and even individual lures are easier to distinguish, giving anglers a significant advantage in every fishing condition.

Integrated image stabilization and improved sonar stitching help produce consistently smooth images while minimizing unwanted sonar artifacts.

No Black Box Means Easier Installation

The LiveScope 2 HD Transducer plugs directly into your compatible Garmin chartplotter and power source using the included BlueNet™ connection. With no external sonar module required, installation is faster, cleaner, and takes up less space in your boat.

Multiple Viewing Modes for Complete Coverage

Switch between three live sonar perspectives to match your fishing style:

Forward Mode - Scout ahead of your boat to locate fish before making a cast.
Down Mode - Watch fish, structure, and lure presentations directly beneath your boat.
Perspective Mode - Gain a wide overhead view of shallow water to quickly locate cruising fish and cover.

The included adjustable Perspective Mode mount makes switching between views quick and simple.

Pair with Spy Pole™ or OneVü™ Sonar

For the ultimate live sonar experience, mount your LiveScope 2 HD transducer to a Spy Pole™ for independent wireless control separate from your trolling motor.

Pair it with Garmin's GT360UHD using OneVü™ Sonar technology to overlay LiveScope imaging onto a 360-degree sonar view, creating an incredibly detailed three-dimensional picture of your surroundings.
